Thanks for the comment!
I've he...Hello, Andrea. Thanks for the comment!<br />I've heard about your group (there are several members taking part in the Manuscript Challenge). I like the idea of adding that bit of 1st person-ish re-enacting by creating a subtle hierarchy. Not sure that I could get our group to do it, but it's a nice idea. ^_^<br /><br />Thanks for the compliments. *goes off to check out your blog*Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07941566213672427040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630866498774359160.post-32964787657829157382014-09-22T19:36:27.275+01:002014-09-22T19:36:27.275+01:00Great thoughts! I agree on all of them.
About the...Great thoughts! I agree on all of them. <br />About the 1st vs 3rd person reenacting, we've been thinking on trying to submerge those two in my reenactmentgroup (Fraternis Militia Carnis). Like, the high knight don't sit with the kitchen maid by the fire, and the fancy people gets served first and stuff like that - but we interact with the public as our selves. It works well sometimes, others not. <br /><br />Nice blog by the way. I just found it. :)Andreahttp://andrea-hakansson.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630866498774359160.post-62826090728234748572013-09-10T19:13:37.142+01:002013-09-10T19:13:37.142+01:00I think it's really hard to make first person ...I think it's really hard to make first person work. You can't answer the questions properly. There's also the problem that you can need quite a lot of knowledge to pull it off. Oh, and also that it requires you to be somewhat able to act, which most people who seem to do it CAN'T.<br /><br />There certainly are some pretentious first person reenactors...Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07941566213672427040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1630866498774359160.post-64464065656484026142013-09-02T20:25:45.008+01:002013-09-02T20:25:45.008+01:00I've always done third person, I think third i...I've always done third person, I think third is a bit too hard for most people to engage with - I don't even stick entirely to first when I work with ks2 in schools, cos if you do you can't answer questions properly (ok, sometimes I answer questions in first when they're being annoying, but that's just to wind them up, cos theres only so many time you can say the ancient greek didn't have telly). personally I find first person a bit pretentious.<br /><br />I dont thik it really classes as living history unless you're doing something though. there's nothing duller than wandering round a so-called living history camp where no-one is demonstrating a craft or cooking, and teres just a few folks sat round chattingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
